Which side are you on now the devs or the themers? I think you are
slowly turning over to the dark side ;-)

I'll take a look at adding this - need to find a theme that uses the
progress slider stuff first.

The info area does switch to show the volume for a few seconds when it's
changed but you want a text area that shows the volume all the time is
that correct? If it's an optional item then I have no problems with that.
